With just over two weeks until their WrestleMania showdown, Tiffany Stratton left Charlotte Flair rattled on this week’s SmackDown. In a segment moderated by the blue brand’s color commentator, Wade Barrett, things got ugly between the two women in contention. It began with Flair gloating about her magnanimity as she didn’t disappoint Stratton, who was basically begging The Queen to pick her as her WrestleMania opponent.
The Buff Barbie unsurprisingly dragged Charlotte’s Hall of Fame father, Ric Flair, by asserting that The Queen would always come second to her daddy no matter how many titles she ended up with. Though Flair tried to retort, the hostile Chicago crowd didn’t let it happen. Realizing she was in an anti-Flair territory, the 39-year-old allowed the upstart to have the last word.
Tiffany knew she had the backing of an entire arena, and the former gymnast made it count. At 25 years old, Flair was shooting to become a volleyball player drinking in her dad’s basement, quipped the Women’s Champion. And while the latter’s at it, she’s on the precipice of stepping into WrestleMania with gold around her waist.
Hey Tiffany, Is that’s why Kaiser’s in my DMs?

The Center of the Universe further declared that in due time, Flair be forced to call herself what she is—WWE’s least favorite nepo baby. At last, the most jarring insults of all came from Stratton when she said that after WrestleMania 41 is over, Charlotte would be just as she’s outside of the ring—alone.
That, of course, was a reference to Flair’s divorce from Andrade that recently saw the light of day. After Tiffany “wooed” Flair off, the latter clapped back, asking Stratton why her boyfriend, Ludwig Kaiser, was in her DMs.
Did Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton went off script?
With Charlotte Flair abruptly taking a shot at Tiffany Stratton’s real-life partner in the closing moments of their heated exchange, it felt amiss. WrestleVotes was quick to note on X that those women did go off the script. In fact, the insider added that Flair and Tiffany largely swayed from what was listed internally for their promo.
WWE has also edited out the personal references Charlotte and Tiffany aimed at each other. The netizens are already calling it a shoot-fest. And why not? The last time these WrestleMania-bound exponents were put together for a split-screen interview, it didn’t go as planned either. In its aftermath, the 14-time women’s champion was accused by the fans of trying to bury a young talent.
Charlotte & Tiffany said very little of what was in the rundown for them. Off script quite a bit.

The Nature Girl dismissed the allegations in a Daily Mail interview. She asked the naysayers what else were they expecting? Flair said she went hard at Stratton, who, at times has vowed to put the veteran in her place. Charlotte claimed that she wouldn’t punch herself down to the level of The Buff Barbie, who seemingly ran out of words when they sat down on SmackDown recently.
Charlotte Flair has publicly addressed her divorce
As per court documents obtained by TMZ, Charlotte Flair and Andrade had their divorce finalized by October 2024. It was at a time when The Queen was still recovering from a multitude of knee issues.
However, the news of her legal separation from El Edolo didn’t come out until after Flair won this year’s 30-woman Royal Rumble match. During a recent appearance on Sherri‘s YouTube channel, Charlotte got emotional while discussing how she failed once again in her personal life.
The North Carolina native feared getting compared to her four-time divorcee father. During the aforementioned SmackDown segment, Tiffany Stratton did sneak in a 0-3 record jab, referring to the number of times Charlotte’s been divorced.
